About Optimism And Absence (18mb)

I made you a mix.  It’s a little (okay, a lot) rushed, but it’s a present for you because I’m leaving.  I tried to keep the themes intact.  I don’t think I did, necessarily, but I tried.  I wanted to include some kind of new Shearwater track or some  snippet of a new Los Campesinos! shouting match or that song called “Downtown Seoul” by The Mountain Goats, but I didn’t have the time or energy.  Maybe next time.  Anyways, there you have it.  It’s only 12 minutes long.  And it’s got this awesome Johnny Boy remix in full.  And there’s a Mountain Goats easter egg sort of deal, so yea.

For the record I didn’t cut together the sound-clip-people-talking parts (”I get up…”, “the next stage of our lives”, “happy…”), those are Cassetteboy songs.  Cassetteboy is pretty awesome, but I’m not sure if it’s music.  Check out Cassetteboy.  They made this mix possible.

A lot of new music bouncing around so I’ll try to have some new posts in a week or four.
